Oddbean new post about login | logout the fact that so many people are fine with that is still an open anthropological and psychological question I have yet to understand.
People turn on autopilot for things that don’t immediately affect their livelihood. Easier to follow the herd without thinking. “Oh it’s decentralized? Awesome!”
ah right… I am blessed (cursed?) with the knowledge about how all this works at every layer of the stack, and think deeply about how implementations of these protocols lead to different outcomes. I see nostr as the outcome that leads to the most freedom for individuals, perhaps thats why its clearer to me as to why this is the proper solution. education is the key i guess.
Thing is most people run everything through a subconscious "How does this affect my food supply?" filter. Someone in 1950s America might be mortified if a nude photo of them was passed around the office, whereas someone from some remote tribe somewhere would have no issue with everyone in their world having seen them naked. Why is one mortified and one not? Because to be exposed in the first instance is to be socially looked down upon, and our brands are hard-wired to interpret being socially looked down upon as a risk of diminished food supply (red alert). Other words, all comes down to food.
